## Summary

Aberdeenshire Council procured mainstream school transport for Auchterellon Primary. The requirement is passenger transport for school journeys, delivered by road using suitable vehicles and drivers. The scope is described as mainstream school transport services, with service requirements governed by a specification and contract performance management arrangements. The council is the buyer, and the awarded supplier is based in Peterhead. This is a local school transport requirement rather than a general vehicle purchase: the work centres on providing transport services for pupils to and from the named primary school.

The procurement has been awarded to Central Taxis (North East) Limited, and the contract is recorded as active. The award date was 17 September 2026, at a value of £2,400. The tender deadline was 10 September 2026. Two bids were received. This was a short-term tender for school transport services, run through a quick quote process. The stated operating arrangements include the attached terms and conditions and a Contract Performance Management System. The procurement information identifies a single school requirement for Auchterellon Primary; no separate lots or award splits are indicated. The available award information does not set out a distinct evaluation formula or detailed eligibility thresholds.

This award demonstrates demand from Aberdeenshire Council for mainstream school transport tied to a specific primary school and managed through defined service specifications, contract terms and performance monitoring. A credible competitor when this requirement next returns would need to deliver dependable pupil transport on the required routes, with suitable passenger vehicles and drivers, and the operational capacity to meet the specification consistently. Suppliers experienced in scheduled school journeys and in working to measurable public-sector performance requirements are well placed to compete. The modest, short-term scale makes this relevant to local taxi and passenger transport operators able to cover the service reliably, rather than suppliers whose business is limited to vehicle sales or unrelated transport work.}
